BUFFY: I swear we just covered this thing up.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: It doesn't want to stay hidden anymore. It wants to turn these kids into monsters and victims and who knows what.

BUFFY: It's more than that. Look, Robin, I, um, I had a vision the other day.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: You have visions?

BUFFY: Sometimes.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Oh. Well, how do you know that they're not just dreams?

BUFFY: You're running to catch the bus naked? That's a dream. Army of vicious vampire creatures? That's a vision. Also, I was awake.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: (semi-joking) A bus to where? (serious) I mean, an army of how many?

BUFFY: Hundreds. Maybe hundreds of hundreds. All I know is the last UberVamp I faced crawled out of that very hole. It makes me awfully nervous. (Robin walks onto the seal) What are you doing?

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Now, have you ever really studied it? You know, gotten close?

BUFFY: Well, I know it's a goat with its tongue out. Uh, Willow did a search on the symbolic database, but it turns out everybody loves a good goat's tongue. Rock groups, covens and greek cookbooks. She said she couldn't narrow it down.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: And you trust her?

BUFFY: Yes, why wouldn't I trust her?

PRINCIPAL WOOD: I don't know why any of you should trust each other. You've all been evil at some point, right?

BUFFY: No, that's not true. Yeah, Willow had a bad patch, but I've never been.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: (in a deep voice) Evil is what evil does, and I know what you're doing. (stands, looks at Buffy?his eyes are white) You're with that vampire, screwing that vampire. You filthy whore! (charges at Buffy)

BUFFY: Robin, are you OK?

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Whoa. What happened?

BUFFY: I?I think it was controlling you.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Buffy, we've got to get rid of this seal. We've got to shut it down before it starts affecting everyone.

BUFFY: I think I have a pretty good idea who we should talk to.

PRINCIPAL WOOD: Yeah, who's that?

BUFFY: The guy that fed it it's first drop of blood.

(A pink piglet runs by)

PRINCIPAL WOOD: God, I hope that's not a student.
